![]() ![]() This is a more thoughtful and time consuming process. Sticking to the floor after you are done might not be a good option.) (Note: You are probably going to be working in the room, so protect the floor from overspray with cheap 2 mil poly, or painter’s drop sheets. And make sure they are where you want them. Make sure you follow the general mounting suggestions above. The glue tacks quickly, but allows some re-positioning early in the process. Use 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive (according to manufacturer’s instructions) on the back of your foam and stick them on the wall. This is a quick and easy application method. This is the “I am never going to move them” or the “I don’t care about the drywall” mounting method. I have stayed married a long time by not doing dumb things like that.) ![]() (Note: I have seen suggestions about using an electric carving knife. Don’t be shy–one strong, straight cut will give you a clean edge. Then, using a long-bladed utility knife with a sharp blade (like the Olfa 5003-my favorite for years), held vertically against the level, cut off the excess. If you have to, or want to, cut panels, place them pointy face down on something you do not mind cutting on, place your level on your cut line, compress the foam by kneeling on the level.Continue adding as many panels as you like in all directions. Once the first panel is installed level with the line and centered on the ‘x’, you should not have to be concerned about level, plumb, and square if you just butt adjoining panels–in any direction–to the first one. Hold the level vertically on the center of wall mark and make a center-line ‘x’ above your horizontal line–so you can see it when applying the first panel. ![]() Use a level (preferably a 4′ level) to draw a horizontal line at the top mark. Measure up from center mark half the height of a panel.
